This is going to be a great freaking con...
Is cockpunching going to be allowed in the Beat Up Nick Logue event? ;)
Freakin' cool! The boards didn't censor cockpunching. Yay!

Cockpunching will definitely be covered. Most definitely.

There can be only one...
The Great Green God
Beat up Logue...You know, that's almost tempting enough to get me to fly over. If not, Heath give him an extra big whack for me will you:)
In that case where's my boxing gloves and cricket bat...
...and my beloved buff orpington bad red
Curious--do they have aluminum cricket bats?
aluminium I think you mean, and heavens no, absolutely not, just wouldn't be cricket old boy.
sigh
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buff_Orpington
I don't think they'll let you in the door with that unless it's a seeing eye chicken.I wonder if he periodically chokes his Buff Orpington?
FH
How dare you sir! Prince Valiant - my Bad Red Orpington - is too much of a dire chicken to allow himself to be attacked.
Oh dear, working with Willie Walsh is rubbing off on me already:)
Curious--do they have aluminum cricket bats?
Yes for a while. They were experimented with and subsequently deemed to be illegal because, IIRC, they caused too much damage to the ball.
How zackly does Iron Dungeonmaster work?
I have not gone (and therefore have not won) yet, but from what I gather you get three mystery ingrediants let's say: dire chickens, beating up Nick, and cockpunching and then you weave them into an adventure on the spot with an hour or two's notice while everyone else (the randomly selected 8 players) go make up characters. As I recall you can only give the players 3 words of advice on character creation ("Don't blow chunks" or "Chaotic Neutral everybody"). Then you get together and play. The winner is determined by voting (probably theplayers at your table and the three judges). I hear tell Nick personally leis each DM who scores a critical hit. ;)
GGG
Aluminium Cricket bats?
Heathen!
Cricket is far too English for such new fangled ideas. We even stop for Tea and Lunch (As well as sleeping 4 times) during the course of a test. Very civilized.
Aluminium Pah!

Iron DM sounds kinda fun. Shame I'm an ocean away from coming to the Gencon :(

Dang Oceans! Mine gets in the way too...but now that I am moving off my paradise island, that will no longer be a problem. Aloha Hawai'i...Aloha New York!!!
Iron DM is the bomb! It's my very favoritest six hours of the year every year now. I am most excited to see GGG clash with two time champ Iron DM Dreads. GGG...you need an Iron DM name...its never too early to start thinking of one. The winners from Last Year:
1st: Iron DM Dreads
2nd: Iron DM Ancient Sensei
3rd: Iron DM Deathlock
What will yours be?
You are moving off the island? Hmmm, need to redirect the death squads...

Sigh...I really liked living on Hawai'i, but all the damn assassination attempts have forced me to relocate...curse you all! ;-)
You'll never find sanctuary, Logue! My killbots will find you wherever you hide!

Could just leave off the the first two Gs and call me the Iron DM God!!!
Bwahahaha!!!

PS I promise to give the $50,000 in cash prizes to the poor and underprivileged - I'm talking to you, online gamers. ;)
One hour, Fatespinner.
One hour.
Lady Lilith is correct sir.
One hour.
Sample ingredients from the last three years:
Year One: "Dragons, Time Travel, a Wedding"
Year Two: "Frost Giants, a Funeral, Flashbacks"
Last Year: "Minotaurs, Magma, Mistaken Identity"
This Year: WHO KNOWS WHAT MY SICK MIND WILL SUMMON UP!
You only get one hour to prepare. It's loads of fun. This year will be our biggest yet. 80 players, ten registered DMs and a few "special appearances" like GGG and last year's Numbers 1, 2 and 3 DMs. By the way, any of you published Paizo folk who are considering entering don't need to register, just contact me directly and I'll make you a "special appearance" DM.
Nick
Never saw that last event coming, Nick. GREAT idea. Nice change of pace from the chair numb die rolling.

Thanks Jade! I am really looking forward to it! I do workshops for stage combat all the time, but I am altering my usual faire to include a lot of fun techniques that might come up in games (that don't often come up on stage)...like cockpunching, fun fantasy type unarmed combat (really really supernaturally strong characters doing the fighting), and other cool stuff.
Next year I'll do a broadsword workshop too...there is nothing more fun, but this year between moving to NYC and trying to organize my wedding I didn't have time or money to trick out my armory the way I wanted. Next year for sure though. The song of steel will ring through Gencon!

I forget how I ended up here, but after hitting google for "Iron DM" I was mildly surprised to find THIS.
four and a half stars!!! ;-)
You feel like you've been pressed under one of them after the event is over...but in an awesome way.

Your computer must be able to predict the future, because the Iron DM 160 is a dungeonmaster robot that can take any three elements and spin them into a compelling game adventure in under four seconds. That thing doesn't start winning until the year 2012.

Some Russian will beat it though.
Some Russian will beat it though.Ahh, but will he be able to roll on his back and poach eggs?
At least thirty percent of all Russians can poach eggs from their backs. It's dangerous though, because if the pot falls down onto you it can melt a human nipple into bubble wax in no time whatsoever.
I'm sure there's just got to be a home video of her getting poached somewhere, somehow.
